The questioner : Why did you prefer the rest of the ten to the people of Badr?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : What is the thing by which you preferred al-Baqi' to the people of Badr, even though entering Paradise does not necessitate the forgiveness of sins, and the people of Badr expiate their sins? Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes, first we say: I am leaving it to you now to follow up on these ten. Did any of them lag behind at Badr?
The questioner : I do not know. Yes? I do not know.
The Shaykh : I am following up, and if I find someone who lagged behind while still alive and remaining, then at that point this objection is answered. However, in reality, it is possible to answer it.
